I am helping evaluate an Amiga 2000. According to the Amiga documentation, I should be able to get the Workbench to use interlaced mode by using the Preference Manager. The docs say I should click on Yes for that option, save preferences, and restart the Amiga. Unfortunately it doesn't work--whenever I save preferences, `use interlace for workbench' is reset to No. The Amiga is hooked up to a non-Commodore monitor, but the monitor has no problem displaying interlaced video from applications. The only thing I can imagine is that the Workbench or the Preference Manager somehow detects that the monitor is not a 1084 (?), and assumes that ALL non-Commodore monitors are incapable of interlaced video, but that sounds like a really stupid "feature", and it's not my best guess. Does anyone know what's going on, and how I can turn on interlace mode in the Workbench? Please reply via email, since I don't read this newsgroup often. I apologize if this question has been raised before. -j. -- _____________________________________________________________________ Jay Sekora | js@phoenix.princeton.edu Information Centers Consultant | js@pucc.bitnet Princeton University | sekora-jay@cs.yale.edu

Thanks to everyone who sent me help on this. Turns out that the problem was that the Preference Manager was saving to the current partition, which wasn't the boot partition. SavePrefs fixed this. -j. -- _____________________________________________________________________ Jay Sekora | js@phoenix.princeton.edu Information Centers Consultant | js@pucc.bitnet Princeton University | sekora-jay@cs.yale.edu
